It is possible if you have access to a PBX to pass your calls through, but I 
doubt the phone company would set this up.  How would you dial 911?

I have setup our PBX before, when I was figuring out how the CLID table worked, 
to hand out my cell phone number when using a certain extension.

If they have harassment problems then the phone company can block their number 
from displaying or from the *67 option.
